Raspberry and Almond Totre

This raspberry torte is a beautiful medley of textures and flavours. The vanilla, raspberries and almonds perfectly compliment each other. The recipe produces an extremely thick batter that makes sure the fruit doesn't sink to the bottom. The best part is that this recipe is super easy to adapt. It can be made using pretty much any fruit, and is just as delicious.
